Chapter 101

The 766th Unit Family Compound is independent.

It is about twenty kilometers away from the camp.

At nine o'clock in the morning in early July, the scorching sun was already high in the sky.

Several military dependents, wearing sun hats and carrying vegetable baskets, walked out of the vegetable field, chatting and laughing.

The topics ranged from whether her tomatoes were redder and sweeter, to whether your lettuce was crispier, to whose loofah had the most pollinated flowers...

When they passed a unit building, the woman with a round face stopped talking first and asked curiously, "I heard from my old Yu that the new leader of the group has been reported and the house has been allocated, so why hasn't he moved in yet?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the others subconsciously looked up at the empty room on the second floor.

Then someone curiously asked the woman with the round face, "Xiu Fen, I heard that the new head of the regiment is quite young. Your battalion commander Yu must have met him, right? What did he say? Is he easy to get along with?"

Wang Xiufen sighed: "I have met him. After all, he is my future superior... We didn't say much. He is not young, 35 years old, but..." Having said this, she glanced at the empty room on the second floor.

Several people urged: "But what?"

Seeing that everyone's curiosity was aroused, Wang Xiufen did not keep it a secret and said as she walked home, "But he is not a newcomer to the regiment level at this age. I heard that he has been in the position of regiment commander for six or seven years."

"Wow! He's quite capable... I guess he comes here just to plate gold." Someone with a clear mind pointed it out immediately.

Wang Xiufen agreed: "My husband Yu also said the same thing... Alas, the more capable people are, the harder it is to get along with them. I'm afraid my life will be difficult in the future."

Hearing this, several women looked at each other, and someone muttered, "Take care of yourself first. I don't know what kind of personality the head of the group's sister-in-law has, but don't be like the one in front."

This is referring to the sister-in-law of the former head of a regiment who changed jobs and left a few days ago... She is the typical example of someone who suffers losses if she doesn't gain any advantage.

Thinking of this, several people's faces fell, and they instantly lost interest in chatting. Just when they were about to disperse and go home, they heard the sound of an engine roaring.

"This is... Speak of the devil and he will appear?" Turning back, Wang Xiufen muttered at the military jeep and military truck parked not far away at the foot of the unit building.

"Let's go! We'll know if it's a human or a ghost after we take a look!"

"What the hell, it's all nonsense, don't let anyone catch you."

"Got it, got it... Hurry up, there are a lot of people watching, don't miss out on the good seats."

“If you don’t know, you might think we’re watching a movie…” Despite the complaints, the few people walked at a fast pace and soon blended into the crowd watching the excitement.

the other side.

Huo Xiao pulled out the key and looked at his wife who was sitting in the passenger seat. Seeing that her lips looked a little pale, he worriedly reminded her, "Don't worry, I'll help you."

As he finished speaking, he had already gotten out of the car, and without paying any attention to the curious military personnel who gathered around him, he went straight to open the passenger door.

Then he bent his waist slightly and half-supported and half-carried his wife to the ground.

At this time, Hu Xiu, who was sitting in the back seat, had already gotten out of the car. She stepped forward to support her daughter-in-law and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

With her nearly seven-month-old belly, she smiled and shook her head when she heard this: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Hu Xiu was still a little worried. After all, her daughter-in-law's pregnancy was not easy. She had morning sickness until last month when she got better.

Thinking of this, she looked around and her sight was fixed on a big tree not far away.

Seeing this, Miaomiao, who was carrying a chair with her brother, looked in the direction of her grandmother and immediately turned around and said, "Mom, come over here and rest."

So, before Ruiting could react, her mother-in-law helped her sit under the shade of a tree.

Then, Miaomiao went to get a water bottle and a fan.

The water bottle was for mom, and the fan was given to my sister. She told her, "Sit here with mom and fan her. Don't run around, okay?"

Nian Nian, who is already 7 years old and looks more and more delicate, pursed her lips and nodded obediently.

Seeing that she suddenly became gentle, Guoguo knew that the little girl didn't want to show her missing front teeth, so she put her hands on her hips and laughed happily, completely forgetting the embarrassing situation she felt when she just got her missing teeth.

"Guo Guo, you are smiling for nothing!" Niannian, who was ridiculed, clenched his fist and waved it!

Hearing this, Guoguo laughed even louder. He held his stomach and laughed so hard: "Hahaha... there's a leak... haha... there's a leak when you talk... haha... I'm dying of laughter... haaaa! It hurts... it hurts..."

Seeing her sister's cheeks puffed up and flushed with anger, Miaomiao immediately reached out and grabbed her brother's ears, saying in a cold tone: "Why are you still standing there? Can't you see that Dad is very busy?"

"Hiss...hiss...sister, let go, my ears are going to fall off, can't I help you now?" Although she was a little taller than her sister, Guoguo still didn't dare to resist at all and kept wailing and begging for mercy.

Now, it was Niannian's turn to cover his mouth and laugh like a little fool.

Seeing Guoguo running away with his ears covered, Ruting shook her head helplessly. She really didn't understand why Guoguo always remembered to eat but not to be beaten...

"Mom, Dad will probably be busy for a while. Please sit down and I'll go accompany grandma." Although the army was equipped with basic furniture, there were also a lot of clothes, books, cooking utensils and other items. In addition, they lived on the second floor, so it would take an hour or two to unload. Her mother was pregnant and had a difficult time, so Miaomiao naturally took over the task of greeting the neighbors.

Hearing this, Ruting came back to her senses, turned to look at her mother-in-law who was already chatting animatedly with the military families who were watching, smiled and nodded: "Go ahead."

This room.

Although the military families greeted Hu Xiu enthusiastically, their eyes kept drifting towards the woman under the shade of the tree.

Whether it was the other party's overly young appearance or overly beautiful looks, it was all beyond everyone's expectations.

Of course, the biggest surprise was the children's ages.

The team leader's sister-in-law looks to be in her early twenties at most, and she doesn't look like she has a child this big.

However, Captain Huo, 35 years old, is of the appropriate age.

So...not only are these two an old man and a young wife, I'm afraid they're still remarrying, right?

Although these days, for various reasons, there are many military personnel who remarry or re-establish families.

But... prejudice is also deeply rooted.

After all, stepmother is not a nice word.

Thinking of this, some shallow-minded people couldn't help but reveal a hint of smile in their eyes when they looked at the beautiful woman under the shade of the tree.

Hu Xiu first expressed her regret that her daughter-in-law was not feeling well and needed to rest, and then she just greeted people enthusiastically without noticing anything was wrong.

On the other hand, Miaomiao, who had been silent and watching from the sidelines, noticed everyone's little thoughts.

So, when Hu Xiu proudly embraced her granddaughter and began to introduce her, Miao Miao suddenly smiled shyly and took the initiative to say, "Hello, aunties. My name is Jiang Yinuo. My brother Jiang Annuo and I are twins. We are 11 years old this year. We are adopted by our parents."

Hearing this, everyone's faces suddenly understood, but Hu Xiu was stunned. She frowned and looked at her granddaughter, not understanding why the little girl suddenly said that.

Miaomiao squeezed her grandmother's hand soothingly, looked at everyone and said playfully, "There's nothing I can do. She's too young to call me mom. She doesn't look like she has a child as old as Guoguo and me. Rather than letting everyone misunderstand, it's better to make it clear from the beginning... Aunties, what do you think?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone smiled, regardless of whether they heard the sarcasm in the little girl's words or not.

In fact, we all don't really have any bad intentions, we just "make up stories based on pictures" and like to make random guesses.

Yu Xiufen said in her heart, "Good girl," the little girl was very capable, but she said warmly, "Yinuo is right, we can't be blamed for this, it's mainly because my sister-in-law is too young and too beautiful, she looks like a grown-up girl."

When someone handed over a ladder, everyone chimed in, and threw out nice words without paying...

Seeing this, Hu Xiu, who realized belatedly that everyone had misunderstood something, rubbed her granddaughter's head with some heartache, worrying that she and her grandson would be rejected by their peers in the future.

Miaomiao curled her lips and didn't take this little thing to heart at all. Just like her parents said, as long as the core is strong enough, there is nothing to fear.

"...Hey, do you think that my sister-in-law looks a bit like that...that movie star Lu Wei?" Suddenly, someone said this.

Hearing this, everyone looked at the woman who was talking to the little girl under the shade of the tree with her head tilted to one side. "...You know what, they really look alike."

Knowing the routine of giving a slap in the face and then a date in return, Miao Miao, although she stabbed everyone, did not want to offend them completely, so she turned to look at Wei who was helping to unload the goods, and shouted, "Second Uncle!"

Lu Wei, who was taking a package from the car, froze and looked at his niece helplessly.

Miaomiao continued to wave: "Second uncle, come here!"

Wei stuffed the package in his hand into his brother-in-law's hand and said harshly: "The damn girl is using me as a favor again."

Huo Xiao looked at his brother-in-law who had specially put on a mask and chuckled, "Go ahead. Your face can bring a lot of goodwill to our family. It would be a waste if you don't use it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Wei, who was brushing off the dust on his body, paused in his movements, as if he couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of his brother-in-law who was usually serious.

He was about to spit back some venom when he saw the other person turn around and walk away.

wei wei...

"Second uncle?"

"...I'm here!" Lu Wei resigned himself to his fate and strode over. When he reached the little girl, he first squinted at her, then pinched her cheek as if punishing her, before taking off his mask and smiling as he greeted her: "Hello everyone, I'm Lu Wei, this girl's uncle."

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the handsome face so close to them, as if they had lost the ability to speak.

After a while, no one knew who started it, a piercing scream resounded through the sky:

"ah!!!"

"Hua Wei!!!"

"It's a living Wei!!!"
